High Jinx

High jinx are professional speciality act with a wide range of exciting visual live family entertainment including Magic, illusion, juggling, unicycling, escapology, stilt walking and much much more!

Michael Jordan was introduced to magic when he was just 7 years old. He would visit his grandparents where his granddad Barry would share with him a different magic trick each week but would never reveal how the effect was achieved, this fuelled Michael’s interest in the art of magic.

One Christmas morning an excited Michael opened his presents to find his very own Paul Daniels magic set. The rest is History.


In 2007 High Jinx was established by Michael and his sister Siobhan culminating in them being the youngest act to win the coveted British Ring Shield for most entertaining act at the International Brotherhood of Magicians annual convention.

This gave them the opportunity to hone their act in holiday parks and venues across the UK.

In 2011 Siobhan decided to leave the act and Michael recruited dancer Tamsyn Sear.

Together they appeared on the hit TV show “Penn and Teller Fool Us” which lead on to some amazing opportunities including theatre tours, pantomimes, corporate events and their very own summer season production at the Blackpool Pleasure beach which ran for 3 consecutive years. Before moving the show to the Viva entertainment venue for 5 years and the to the World Famous Blackpool Tower Circus in 2020.

Michael and his High Jinx team are proud to have created magical experiences for family’s around the world from Blackpool to The Happy Valley theme park in China.
